THAckERAY'S HEART.
How the Novelist Revealed Himself In
Some Private Letters.

How the Novelist Revealed Himself in
Some Private Letters.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YoRK, April 8.
The collection of unpublished letters OF
Thackeray in Scribner's Magazine for April
gives one Q glimpse into the boyish heart Of
the great satirist. Men who are easily inter
ested, who babble of trifies and like to hear
TRIES told by their frinds, are always charm
ing. Let all who want to make themselves
cordially welcomed and much loved rsmem-
Der this.
These letters were written to the late Rev.
w II. Brookfield and his wife, from 1S47 to
lS40, when Thackeray, in consequence Of the
malady which fell upon his wife after the
birth Of their youngest child, was living alone
in London. Mrs. Brookfeld, for whom he en-
tertained q chivalrous and affectionate re-
gard, edits the letters, with the approval Of
Mrs. Annie Richie, Thackerays daughter,
who was frequently requested by her father
to publish no memoir of him. "Vanity Fair"
was not yet written when these letters began.
Renown had not come to him. Only his close
personal friends who knew him well saw that
his genius was Of rare order.
Some Of the "ietters" are mere extracts
others are given without the omission Of a
word. "But," says Mrs. Brookfield, "if every
one Of these letters from Thackeray could be
rightly made public, without the slightest
restriction, they would all the more rebound
to his honor"
Some to Mr.. Brookfield begin, any dear old
B." Others written in French are addressed
to "Monsieur pAbbe," and signed "Chevalier
Titmarsh" All have in them a CHEEKY, even
joyous spirit, indicating a heart that found
the sweetness Of life close about its feet and
liked to talk it over on paper or Of, in easy
fashion, with his friends.
He liked to drop into Cockney dialect often,
and speak about being "hangry," or describe
something as "tremenjus." And, as the great
novelist drew with exceeding cleverness, he
was fond of illustrating his letters with funny
caricatures. mostly Of himself. Here is an
extract from a letter to Mrs. Brookfeld, in
viting her and her husband to spend some
time at his lodgings, reproduced as it was
written. Reduced to type, it is this: II have
got box of apricots from Fornum & Masons,
which alone ought to make any lady happy
and two shall he put under my ladys pillow
every night. Now do come-and farewell
My barb is at the postern. I have had him
clipped and his effect in the park is quite
tremenjus." As it was written:

JUDGING FROM the expressed opinions of
many well informed gentlemen from differ
ent parts Of the State, as recently publish
ed in the GAZETTE, it seems that the pre-
vailing impression among the States we'll
wishels is that the present legislature is in.
capable OF settling the debt question, aud
that therefore it would be best that there
should be no extra session. With the deci-
sion of the United States Supreme Court in
operation there can be no settlement Of the
debt except upon terms satisfactory to the
creditors, and as the majority Of the legisla-
ture say they will stand By the Rddleber-
ger bill, which is not satisfactory, an extra
session would only put the State to great
and totally unnecessary expense.

To SHOW that Mr.. George, the especial
professed friend of labor in this country, is
either insincere in his professions, or else
doesn't know what would really benefit Ia
Dor, it is only necessary to say that he is
opposed to an income tax. The chief OBJ
iect of government in this country is the
protection of property, and yet, under the
existing tariff, as poor man consumes as
much of the necessaries CT life as rich one,
and as the former are many while the latter
are few, by far the greater part of the ex-
pense Of the government is thrown upon
the poor, who have no property to protect.
An income tax is the fairest and least op-
pressiye che that can be imposed. 1t is
paid by those whose wealth is secured by
government and who are able to pay it,
while all other men are striving. by every
means in their power, toinclude themselves
among its subjects.

THE NEW YEAR commenced to-day. I'm
less it shall be unlike all its predecessors it
will bring both good and evil to al the sons
and daughters OF men. But though much ola
mans condition depends upon destiny or
luck, great deal depends upon himself,
and when the accounts Of the year shall be
closed, it will be found, as general thing,
that the hopeful, industrious and economi-
cal have prospered, while the Respondent,
the idle, and the extravagant have fallen
still further behind hand in the race of life.
Let all then be up and stirring, ready and
anxious to seize the good and avoid the evil
the womb of the year is certain to bring
forth.
